About

Our philosophy

Perelandra Natural Foods has been dedicated to bringing you the best in organic and natural foods since 1976! In the 40 years since we first opened our doors, we have grown, but our vision hasn‘t changed - providing our community with the highest quality, wholesome, natural foods available. Our beautiful 6,000 square foot store offers an incredible selection of the best natural and organic foods, certified organic produce, environmentally friendly body care, healthy, homemade vegetarian foods and the highest quality dietary supplements. Every member of our friendly & knowledgeable staff has been personally trained in natural foods by our on-staff licensed nutritionist! At Perelandra, you'll get exceptional service each and every time you shop with us!

Our quality commitment to our customers

At Perelandra, you can be confident about the quality of the products in our store. You won't find products on our shelves that contain high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, artificial preservatives or hydrogenated oils- we don't think these ingredients belong in food at all! In 2010, we began requiring that all new products containing soy, corn, canola and beet ingredients be derived from either certified organic or certified non-gmo sources. In 2015, we began requiring new items not contain carageenan. We actively seek out products from small, local, quality-focused natural and organic manufacturers- we were even cited in the Zagat Food Lovers Guide for our excellent selection of "non-mass market brands"! Our store buyers have many years of experience and a great love for natural and organic products. That passion and expertise shows in our diverse, extensive offerings to you.

Our community

Perelandra is an independently and locally owned and operated business. In a world where corporate chains dominate the marketplace, we believe that just as organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, small business is better for the economy and our community. We love to give back! Every year we donate more than 50,000 pounds of food to City Harvest, Food Not Bombs Brooklyn & Manhattan, CHIPS Brooklyn, The Touch Dinner, Quaker Meeting House and many other organizations. Additionally, we offer our staff members paid volunteer time to encourage them to take time away from work to volunteer in New York City. Our customers and community are the most important part of our business and we love being a part of Brooklyn Heights!
